Travel Insurance Reviews Travel Medical Plans
Most regular health insurance plans provide only partial or no coverage while you are traveling in another country. We offer several types of Travel Medical plans providing a range of benefits, such as medical coverage for pre-existing conditions, multi-trip and renewable protection, emergency medical evacuation, and coverage for long-term travel.
To learn more, see our Travel Medical Plans article.

I later found out that other plans were less expensive, but I haven't spent time comparing the coverages. Most importantly though was the fact that I had insurance coverage.

I can’t really rate the plan since, thankfully, I never had to file a claim. Therefore I have no basis recommend it at this time.
The cost does seem reasonable if the coverage and hoops you have to go through are as suggested in their literature.
It is somewhat more tricky to sign up for this plan than the others, and my password did not work when I tried to contact them overseas. They did help me by email to establish another password. But since their office is closed on weekends, it took awhile.

You never want to use it but always want to have it. I was pleased with the overall experience.

This is the insurance you wouldn't want to get if you are traveling/backpacking overseas. I had to submit my insurance claim forms 3 times through their various customer portal(s) I was given at the time by different customer service reps. They said they hadn't received the forms every time I checked in and I resubmitted and waited till I contacted again. They asked me to wait 30 days at the end of each call, which ended up waiting for 3 months while they were not processing anything. Since I am traveling overseas (hence the travel insurance) I also submitted a wire transfer form so I didn't get paid via check.
Of course when I reached out again, they said they did not receive my wire transfer form and they mailed a check. Several chats and almost 3 months later I got two wire transfers with the help of Insuremytrip rep.
As far as I understood, they were going through a change in their electronic system therefore their service portal was useless. I needed to repeat myself again and again to a new rep in the middle of my travels in Asia.
I would not recommend this insurance to travelers. There are much modern and efficient insurance companies out there.

HCC website is like a labyrint, old-fashioned like back in the nineties. Submitting a claim is a pain in the a** and they take the "reasonable" time of one month to process it, not to say that you need to send a separate form to receive a wire transfer instead of a check. Hey, if you didn't notice, we're in year 2017.... please do something about it. Definitely I will never use their service again. I'm a traveller and I need fast and easy process, not to make several international phone call and receive a different answer every time.

Insuremytrip replied to my comment offering support. After more than one month with not even an reply from HCC, I wrote to Insuremytrip's support. Do you think someone came back to me?

Did not have to use it but the online purchasing process was simple and the cost reasonable! Was great comfort knowing I had it.

GeoBlue is an outstanding company. I had several claims. My health insurance carrier in the USA could learn a thing or two from GeoBlue. GeoBlue's customer service is absolutely one of the best I have ever experienced. GeoBlue answered their phone promptly. Their customer service representatives are superb. They interacted with hospitals seamlessly. I was amazed by the everything that GeoBlue covered. While I have limited experience with other companies, but given my experience with GeoBlue, they have earned a customer for life. Do yourself a favor and seriously consider Geo-Blue.

My wife encountered a scuba accident while in Thailand and things worked out well in the end through insurance. GeoBlue was timely and collaborated with the hospital.

Honestly, I did want to use this plan at one point early on. I was at the gym and pretty sure I broke my pinky finger. But when I tried to call to check in before going to the hospital, the automated system said I would have to wait 20 mins on hold! I tried calling the next day and 15 mins. So I figured all they will do at the hospital anyways is xray it and that's it. So I ended up not going to the hospital. And wasting my money on this policy.
